Posted on by Amanda Fowler 241

We have 3 individuals who will be entering general journal in the system and we have approvals turned on. These same individuals are the ones that can also approve the journals.  I need a way that the individual who entered the General Journal cannot also approve his own journal. What is the best way to handle this

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Amanda,

    You can use the below parameter turned on, I hope it will solve your issue.

    Sys admin->> Workflow->> Workflow parameter->> Disallow Approval by submitter = yes

    Hi Amanda,

    Next to the reply from Ramit, there is another option. On the workflow configuration itself there is a setting for 'Use final approver'. If this field is set and the approver is the same as the submitter, the person setup as final approver will get the approval task.
